the worst violence in iraq since the u.s. official he ended its military campaign there raises doubts over whether vocal forces can ensure security. justice on we look at how the internet in russia is becoming the new frontline in the fight for fairness by exposing crime and corruption that mainstream media ignore. and with high foreclosure and unemployment rates in the west showing no signs of abating hearty revisits of forest camp to find out what options are left for the homeless. a warm welcome to you live from our headquarters in central moscow this is r t with

me nice in our way it's eight pm here in the russian capital seven pm in baghdad and violence continues to rage in iraq after three car bombings killed at least thirty six in the iraqi capital and following the official end of u.s. combat operations fifty thousand american troops remain in the country to train local security forces but as artie's paul the slayer reports it barely helps to make local residents feel any safer. dark and dangerous and body armor it does little to protect against the fact that they're not welcome here they're doing a dismount a patrol through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bombs team he stayed behind the mission providing training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over our operations order and planning for the actual missions we're going to do then we do a pretty brief and we actually go and execute these type missions that we're on now

but the u.s. in bishan to have a fully functioning iraqi security force did not protect safire it just means husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace and it's. called me and said he was coming to beat me i said the situation is really bad don't come but he said now i have to say that here so far as certain husbands did as all the families of tens of thousands of iraqis have also disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations put some of the blame with the local security forces these trainees are not always the mike candidates for the job a lot of them they have come from illiterate you know all. around or some of them they are just the from the tribes and clans some of them just because they are part of the political parties militias and so on and the problem is compounded by the limited training they've given you can apply for the defense of these. people being up to the checkpoint like this it's funny stuff here

a few months of training that but there's a certain vehicles the car bomb is missing with installing an id card and it's a far cry from what is needed what. they are not untrained but the training they receive is not enough for the americans only thought to create an iraqi army in two thousand and four by then it was too late because the terrorists had already infiltrated the. but with the increase of violence in iraq in recent. weeks the need for a competent domestic security force has never been great but whether or not the u.s. and iraq can use to the challenge is to get to be seen. on t.v. . well the u.s. claims it's fighting for freedom with its wars in the muslim world but has made the people in these islamic countries see democracy as a greater good that's the topic of the latest discussion in cross talk that's coming up a little later in the program. promotion of democracy i mean the united states is

founded on the idea that that democracy is the best political system for ensuring the rights of both the majority and the minority in a country and so forth but that there can be many different translations the word democracy has actually become a dirty word in much of the other world because the united states of america has waged wars on afghanistan on and supports is a which is a part of democracy a democracy exclusively for the progressive community that's to all the lands of the palestinians. and. if you want. in sweden's general election the center right wing coalition beat the social democrat opposition but fell three seats short of an outright majority the far

right party sweden democrats which urges limits on immigration will enter part of the mint for the first time their candidates that they were attacked and deny freedom of speech before sunday's poll michael jensen member of the danish part of the mint for the liberal party says the establishment unwillingness to discuss immigration has resulted in an unfair election. we have an example right now where none of these fabulous parties and none of the media in sweden like to discuss it because they feel it's like you know it's not politically correct and it's like a. true drawing all over. this media on all this really staff this month so this should be a wake up call to all of you all parties seeing that the democrats were not allowed to take part in the debates on the last debate and they weren't even allowed to run a commercial at some private solutions as all of the all the parties were in bed

with god i don't believe that the elections were fair and therefore have to be decided that i'll take the issue up in the council of europe where proof that mark and sweden are founding members to try to discuss it and see how we can make sure that deal. also not only free but also fair in the future. it's donia has officially launched its countdown to entry into the eurozone on january the first next year that's despite the crisis the currency has been facing and the fact that its donia would be the poorest country in the eurozone well professor. tali university says the move isn't for the sake of the economy. this is very much a political step we will shine the political union which wants to be much bigger. and and still in the stone and economy economy is right now sacrified. croche for

joining. many people they think about about the future of aero zone and according to my understanding. the european union is not any more. current than two types of countries we say we financial discipline and strong financial discipline in this means that. might happen that. will collapse or bill for two different kind of arrow zones we see weak and strong financial discipline. russian prime minister vladimir putin has taken a helicopter ride to see how the nordstrom gas pipeline is being laid into the seabed the solitaire the biggest pipe playing fassel in the world is slowly going through the baltic sea to reach germany the first part of the line will be twelve

hundred kilometers long and is expected to be finished by twenty eleven the pipeline will secure russia's gas deliveries to european countries including germany u.k. france. watching artsy live from moscow still to come this hour at the struggle to set your marks twenty years since the declaration of independence from georgia we look back at what it took for the republic to be recognized. now with blogs in russia now running into the millions the internet has become a major force by highlighting issues often ignored by mainstream media people now get a global audience and results when they report cases of crime corruption and bullying parties covering those are reports on russia's new wave of internet justice. parents and students said this man could bully children on more than one occasion because he was the head of the local administration people were afraid to speak out

. desktops laptops phones and p.t.a.'s internet and russia is becoming much more available and much more than just entertainment for many it has become a virtual speaker's corner where their voice will not only be heard but is guaranteed to echo across the country within hours this particular video which brought about his dismissal is an example of how the looting has transformed russia . washington he's in there's an orphan a master chess player a math genius and guaranteed state benefits he's missing the start of the academic year due to the demands of a construction company that helps fund the school. i want to be in. i.t. specialist but the school said that if i want to study here and live in that halls of residence i have to study to be a builder. but officials bush's case was taken on by a charity organization and its founder get him and say what made

a difference to their case was a message you posted online to the president. of the of course but after i posted my letter someone from the president's administration called and asked for details of this case i know they got in touch with clashes college because almost immediately afterwards the college called and told pasha to withdraw exactly and basically get the hell out they were scared that the authorities are involved and the media picked up this story and the college was forced to stop its unlawful actions being now allow pasha to attend lectures i still refuse to give him a room. when a bunch of kids vandalized a car in broad daylight in a remote part of central russia police couldn't find a cop or its for days but the information they provided allowed bloggers to find them in a matter of hours names addresses and license plates included so why is russia's online community becoming suddenly so influential or change at the very first of all it's evidence of

a technological progress the internet is becoming more and more available and because it's available more and more people are using it for things other than work it's a community in a much faster one than any other. but the by this spike in online use means it's not just journalists who can cover information so what does this say about russia's fourth estate. sure mr this doesn't mean that journalists are bad and bloggers a better or that the only notion of free speech exists online it's simply a matter of choice you no longer want to watch someone else's rundown we want to and can make our own version of the internet allows us to choose what we want to know about the speeds print media simply cannot compete with maybe this isn't the beginning of the end of newspapers in tel aviv. but it's definitely competition of the global kind cashew nuts are about r t. well the founder of the online news website group says the interaction between bloggers and the mainstream is a healthy sign for modern media there is a particle and there is

a way and that particle can be a part of the way when you are a blogger you are a bar to go but when there is a huge thing happening you are just one of the many many many particles together to create a wave so what we're seeing to today is that more and more waves are there you have the blogosphere and the information the focus is on the on the crucial events so even if some of the bloggers want to promote themselves so gather as a whole the blogosphere acts as a as the public sphere it drives attention and you know it gives results there were so many old reddit crimes and corruption issues raised by bloggers and they have become maybe means they're all of media still crucial in a sense that we have to verify what bloggers are saying and feed it back into the

blogosphere and this is how the media system of the twenty first century works. in the u.s. as the mortgage crisis constant real estate firm say over a million americans may lose their homes to foreclosure this year in august alone some three hundred thousand were surging foreclosure warnings as unemployment figures stubbornly hover near ten percent i was last here churkin a report on how a camp outside new york has become a place some people now reluctantly call home. america the prosperous america the traditional and america the broke the picture perfect homes and these homes are a twenty minute drive away from one another how did i end up here probably through my own mistakes in life r.t.e. revisits tent city a homeless camp talked to wait in the woods of new jersey there are at least forty people whose tragic destinies have led them to call this place home. since we were here last time in the winter things have changed more tense have appeared some

people have come and gone but many of the people living here have been here for months if not years and the question that many of them ask themselves over and over again is why are we still here are there really no other options left for us no remarks has been a newspaper handler for most of her life while i worked for the new york times and i wanted the power in a brain aneurysm in two stroke so i was almost dead. i was in a coma for two months it. was an awful three months since then no rain has given up hope of finding a job for those still trying to find work the task is close to impossible to be unemployment rate in the u.s. holding steady at more than nine and a half percent for more than a year now over seventeen years experience. chav see them looking job not only chef chop any kind job i look i have too many patients you know but

no no i don't find them all. you know. very difficult now paying jobs and those who are able to find work make less than the minimum wage i would have told they speak up. by bugs. reverend steve brigham set up a camp for the homeless four years ago this is their our church bell on sunday about twelve o'clock we ring this to let the whole camp know there were about ready to have our service. the reverend runs the place keeping it in order. setting up a shower. and helping with whatever donations he can get local authorities have been disturbed by this camp's existence and have tried to shut the place down people think of the homeless as people that are sometimes questionable in their character but we've had there's more problems outside of the homeless camp been

inside of the camp the only option offered by local officials has been beds at a local psychiatric institution among the mentally unstable the community didn't go for it it's more than they can handle already living a tough enough life it's it's just not a place to live everyone here tells us a better place for them is just around the corner but soon to go to war very soon. very soon and so far no luck with not much help from the outside world all they can do is hope a better life is awaiting them somewhere. and r.t. new jersey. well on our you tube channel you can check out on the previous report on that homeless camp as well as many of our other stories from our team.
